I bought it for my camping trip in December. The weather gets pretty cold during the night. I used it to cook and keep me warm, and it worked perfectly. It came with the connection hose that fits for the 20 lbs gas tank. I kept the heat function on the whole night, and the gas tank still had about 1/3 gas left. It has electrical ignite system to start the fire, just like the gas stove at home, no need for the lighter. It is so easy to use, and I highly recommend it if you plan to camp during the winter season.
